Award Winning Photographs That Capture The Essence Of India

Smartphones have given us the leverage to click anytime anywhere. Today, thousands of pictures are shared every minute. Photography has given everyone their own creative space and to share with us their piece of world. Ranging from landscapes to daily life, we get to see a range of images that delve into different cultures, their art, architecture, people, food and what not! Photos often say what words can not which is one of the many reasons behind people getting more and more involved in photography. Every year since 1839, August 19th is observed as World Photo Day. It was on this day that the French Government bought the patent for daguerrotype, the first practical photographic process and released it for free to the world. Today, as we celebrate 177 years of photography, let’s take a look at some award winning pictures that bring out India’s diversity.
